Crust

  • 4 cups shredded potatoes (fresh or thawed frozen hash browns)
  • 1 egg (for binding)
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 4 large eggs (scrambled or cracked on top)

  • Bake Crust: Press mixture evenly into greased pizza pan. Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and crisp.
  • Add Toppings: Spread cheese over crust. Add bacon, sausage, and veggies. Crack eggs directly on top or add scrambled eggs.
  • Final Bake: Return to oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until cheese melts and eggs are cooked.
  • Serve: Garnish with herbs, avocado, or hot sauce. Slice into wedges or squares and enjoy.

  • Variations: Try sweet potato crust, turkey bacon, or veggie-loaded toppings.
  • Storage: Keeps 3–4 days refrigerated; freeze slices up to 2 months. Reheat in oven for crispness.
  • Serving Idea: Pair with fruit salad, mimosas, or coffee for a complete brunch spread.
